Engineering News reports that up to 101,669 jobs could be created during the first five years of construction of the Limpopo Eco-Industrial Park (LEIP), which will be located in Musina.
The LEIP aims to be Africa’s first economically viable, zero solid waste eco-industrial park, and it is said it will redefine how eco-industrial parks could be developed in SA and across the continent. Eco-Industrial Solutions (EIS) CEO Deshika Kathawaroo on Monday said at the signing ceremony of a memorandum of understanding that it would “fundamentally change” the Limpopo province’s contribution to SA’s strategic development goals. The project will see an investment of about R10-billion during the construction of basic infrastructure, with a further R5-billion a year estimated to flow into the region during the initial operational phase. The park has been designed to promote viable industrial development, featuring an integrated nature reserve, two residential co-estates, the country’s first plasma gasifier, syngas clean-up, two independent power sources, a zero-sulphur diesel plant, and ammonia, nitric acid and ammonium nitrate plants.
